What do YOU do?
I wish I'd put something in the windows, behind the shades. Even with the shades down, we have severe fading of wallpaper, fabric, wood and linoleum. Also, the shade tie-downs are plastic and most have broken, causing the strings to come loose. When that happens, you can no longer put the shades up. Just a totally dumb thing to do.

Used to be that you could go to WM and buy steel sewing machine bobbins. I did that on a couple of 5vers. The metal bobbins don't break like the plastic ones.
Just another 'roundtuit that the 11 miles to the storage site puts a crimp on. That, and a job, and a daughter getting married in April, honey-dos... :-)
